Sarah Likoko | Peter Kijana "Marital Status and Transfer of Service among Teachers in Public Primary Schools in Turkana County in Kenya" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-6 | Issue-4, June 2022, pp.941-944, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd50228.pdf

The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between marital status and transfers among the teachers in public primary schools in Turkana County in Kenya. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 246 non-resident teachers from 36 public primary schools. The data collection instruments were a questionnaire and an interview schedule. Self-administered questionnaire was given to the teachers while interview schedules were administered to head teachers who were purposively selected. The reliability level of 0.883 was obtained which met the reliability coefficient and threshold of 0.7 and above. Data was analyzed using an independent-samples t-test comparing the mean transfer intentions indices for the married and single teachers. The study found a significant difference between the means of the two groups. Therefore, the study recommended that Teacher Service Commission secretariat needs to be considerate during teacher placement so as to suitably place teachers where they can be most comfortable to avoid future transfers.
